Being a Lady of an Influential Family: 372, Chu Miao! (two more)
Fortunately, nothing happened in the last few days of Naga, and Carlos's enthronement ceremony was finally held smoothly. As for the funeral of the old king who may arrive in the foreseeable future, only Ambassador Cui will be able to attend.
After the enthronement ceremony, the embassies of various countries are ready to leave for their home country.
Leng Sa has been staring at Gong Sihe and Mrs. Xing for the past few days. These two are obviously very cautious people and didn't say anything more.
But the person watching them came back and reported that there was clearly something wrong with the relationship between the two, and they didn't seem to be that close anymore.
Leng Sa was not surprised by this result, he chuckled lightly and waved his hand to let him back off without saying anything more.
It was a ship when it came, but when it came back, it had to be divided into two ways.
Several young marshals, Zhang Jingzhi, Zhang Huizhi, and Leng Sa brought the elites of the various families on the same boat they had come aboard, while the Dragon Governor and his party took the same merchant boat back.
His Majesty Carlos, who had just become a king, came to see him off at the port in person, but for the old alumnus Fu Dashao, he didn't have the good color when he came. Leng Sa couldn't help but guess how much His Majesty Carlos was cheated by Fu Fengcheng this time?
Sent off Carlos, who came to see him off, and listened to the teachings of the Dragon Governor and Deputy Secretary Lu before saying goodbye to Ambassador Cui and other Anxia embassy staff.
Seeing the relaxed expressions on Ambassador Cui and Counselor's faces, I felt that these two probably wished they could quickly throw them on the boat.
Before boarding the boat, Fu Fengcheng also instructed Song Boang not to return to Yongcheng immediately after returning, but to wait for them in the capital. Leng Sa asked Song Boang to stare at the three of Xiao Nanjia, and gave General Song a stack of thick documents and said that if someone wanted to save Gong Sihe and Xing Wei after returning, they would try their best to drag them. Procrastinate as long as you can, and if you really can't hold on, it's okay to invite Governor Fu to come forward.
Song Bo'ang naturally responded one by one. He really didn't help much when he came to Naga this time. It was almost like taking a paid vacation and watching a rebellion.
Now the young master and the young lady have something to support, of course he will handle it well.
Farewell to the Dragon Governor and his party, Leng Sa and Zhang Huizhi boarded the ship hand in hand, but they were startled when they saw Zhuo Lin drinking tea on the side of the boat on the third floor, "Ms. Zhuo?!"
Leng Sa was also very surprised, "Ms. Zhuo, why are you here?"
Zhuolin smiled, "What? Didn't Deputy Chief Lu tell you?"
The two shook their heads frantically, Zhuo Lin smiled, "Those two are busy people rushing back, I am an idler, so I was sent here to see if there is anything I can do to help." Ms. Zhuo As the current CEO of Yunzhou, naturally he will not be an idler. I'm afraid it was the two bosses who were worried that these young people were acting too aggressively, so they asked Ms. Zhuo to stay and watch them.
Zhuolin looked at the two with a smile and raised her eyebrows: "Not welcome?"
Leng Sa laughed when she reacted, "How could it be? It would be great to have Ms. Zhuo with us!"
Miss Zhang Nods, "Mmmm."
She is an oil bottle. The biggest reason for her to follow is that it is said that the island owner of God's Blessed Island is still a child, and Miss Huizhi is reluctantly friendly, so maybe she can play with the child.
God's Blessed Island is not too far from Naga, and it will arrive at noon the next day after starting the morning.
God's Blessed Island and Naga are also islands surrounded by sea, but their area is less than one-tenth of Naga's. There are some small affiliated islands around them, which add up to a small area.
However, there are not many people on God's Blessed Island, and it is still a sparsely populated place.
The boat stopped at the port closest to the capital of Shenyou Island, which immediately attracted many locals to watch.
The people from the Island Lord's Mansion were already waiting at the pier and welcomed them into the city.
Shenyou Island is not a closed island. In fact, it has been trading with Anxia and even farther countries from a very early time. At one time, even shipping and shipbuilding were quite developed.
But after all, this place is too small and the population is not large. In recent years, the whole world has developed rapidly, but two consecutive generations of island owners have died young, and God Blessed Island has gradually declined.
The current owner of the island is an eight-year-old child. The island's heart is floating. If it weren't for this, the elder would not ask An Xia for help.
All the way into the city, Leng Sa could feel the different inquiring eyes in the crowd who greeted them, obviously not everyone welcomed their arrival.
The capital of God's Blessed Island is called Cangyun. Just hearing the name will make people feel that this place has a close relationship with An Xia. The area of the city is less than half the size of Yongcheng, but the urban planning is quite good.
The streets are spacious and flat, with small buildings scattered on both sides of the streets, and people on the streets will give people the feeling that this is an Anxia southern city.
The people who came to pick them up were two middle-aged men in their forties, one named Shen Chong and one named Yuan Cheng, who said they were the second and third elders of Shenyou Island.
Shenyou Island is not a country, it has always been managed by the Chu family, and the three elders are there to assist the island owner.
Leng Sa thinks it's a miracle that such a model can last for more than a thousand years when it is open to the outside world.
The island owner's mansion is in the center of the whole city.
The car that greeted them was driven directly into the garden. After passing through the huge garden, they saw a white three-storey building. There are four or five buildings behind the building, which looks quiet and elegant without losing its style. .
As soon as Leng Sa got off the bus, he saw a group of people standing in front of the small building. The one standing at the front was a little girl in a light-colored dress.
The girl looks only eight or nine years old, but her face is very delicate and beautiful. There is no doubt that she will be a great beauty when she grows up.
It's just that this little girl looks a little thin and doesn't seem to be in very good shape.
"Our eldest lady came out to greet you in person." Second Elder Shen Chong, who came to greet them, said with a smile.
Zhang Jingzhi said with a smile, "Miss Chu has worked hard, but you don't have to be so polite."
Shen Chong shook his head, "It should be."
Zhuolin frowned slightly and asked, "I wonder if the elder is okay?"
Shen Chong's expression was a little sad, and he sighed lightly, "The Great Elder has been lingering on the sick bed since last year. If you don't come again..." If the Anxia people came later, maybe the Great Elder would not be able to wait. That time.
While speaking, everyone had already walked to the front. The little girl stepped forward to look at everyone, and then said softly, "Welcome to Cangyun City, I'm Chu Miao."
The little girl's voice is very soft and thin, but her demeanor is generous.
Although the Fu family also has two cute little loli, Leng Sa feels that the little girl in front of her is still the most beautiful little loli she has ever seen.
The last name is Chu? Are the descendants of the blood fox so beautiful?
Everyone also nodded and said hello to Chu Miao, but this girl looked too small and weak. People like Song Lang felt that they were rough and afraid of scaring the little girl, so they just nodded and said nothing. what.
The matter of coaxing the children is left to the three ladies.
"Everyone, please come in and rest, we have prepared tea and a place for everyone to rest." Chu Miao said, turning around and inviting everyone in.
Leng Sa walked beside Fu Fengcheng, looking curiously at the little girl who looked like a little adult.
Chu Miao seemed to notice the cold eyes, and turned her head to look in her direction.
Leng Sa gave her a smile and waved at her.
Chu Miao blinked and showed a sweet smile.
The people from God's Blessed Island were really well prepared, and everyone sent their luggage back to the rooms they had arranged for them.
Everyone sat down and drank a cup of tea before Zhuo Lin proposed to visit the Great Elder first.
The third elder, Yuan Cheng, who came to greet them, said that since the distinguished guests came from a long distance, it is better to rest well first, and now that the first elder is seriously ill, it is not convenient for them to meet the guests. The implication seems to be that they do not want them to meet people.
Zhuo Lin put down the teacup, and said in a calm and calm voice that they didn't have much time, and they had to rush back to Anxia after dealing with the affairs of God's Blessed Island. Besides, the Great Elder invited them to come, and now it is not appropriate to visit God's Blessed Island without visiting them.
Finally, Chu Miao looked at Yuan Cheng and then looked at the others, and said, "Third elders, please invite the guests to see the first elder first."
"Miss!" Yuan Cheng's expression changed slightly, disapproving of the authentic.
Shen Chong said in a deep voice, "Third Elder, since the eldest miss said so, let's go to see the eldest elder first. I'll lead you all over, but..."
Shen Chong looked at the people present, the first elder was really very ill, it would be disturbing if so many people went.
Zhuolin obviously understood this, and turned her head to look at everyone.
Lou Lanzhou said with a smile, "It's not appropriate for us to go with so many people, otherwise, Ms. Zhuo, Brother Fu, Brother Long, and Shao Zhang will visit on your behalf?" , so the four got up and followed Shen Chong to visit the Great Elder.
Yuan Cheng didn't seem to be at ease. After thinking for a while, he got up and resigned and followed, but when he was at the door, he summoned the attendant at the door and whispered a few words.
Chu Miao watched Yuan Cheng leave and his face was wrinkled, and he seemed to think it was inappropriate for him to leave the guests like this.
But he didn't say anything, he just looked up at the other people. Although he tried to appear calm, he was only eight years old after all, so he still seemed a little nervous.
The men present were naturally afraid to talk to such a little girl who seemed to shatter at the touch of a touch, but it was a little embarrassing to sit here with a small child.
Song Lang couldn't help but exchanged a wink with Lou Lanzhou, silently complaining in his heart that God Blessed Island really looked a little out of place, and he didn't even care about entertaining guests.
Zhang Huizhi sat beside Leng Sa, pulling her sleeve excitedly.
Such a beautiful and cute little doll is already very endearing in itself. Not to mention, she is still an island owner.
They came by boat. Although this Divine Blessed Island is not big, it is not small. And the one who owns such a large territory is this beautiful little girl in front of her. That is to say, the governance model of Shenyou Island has been like this since ancient times. If you change it, it will be a little queen.
So cute, I want to pinch.
Zhang Huizhi's too bright and eager eyes made Chu Miao a little uneasy, and couldn't help but glance at Leng Sa beside Zhang Huizhi. She felt that this beautiful sister was more normal, and she was the most reassuring person among so many people.
Leng Sa waved to Chu Miao with a smile, Chu Miao glanced sideways at the attendant not far away, got up and walked to Leng Sa's side, "Mrs. Fu Shao."
Smile coldly, "Miss Chu, would you like to sit here and chat together?"
Chu Miao nodded and sat down between Zhang Huizhi and Leng Sa, "My name is Chu Miao, and Mrs. Fu Shao can call me by my name."
Leng Sa smiled and said, "My name is Leng Sa, so Miao Miao can call me Leng sister, okay?"
Chu Miao thought for a while and said, "Sister Sa Sa."
"..." How could the descendants of the blood fox be so soft and cute? !
"And me, and me, my name is Zhang Huizhi." Zhang Huizhi said quickly.
Chu Miao smiled obediently, "Sister Huizhi."
"Alas!" Zhang Huizhi immediately smiled, "Miao Miao is so beautiful."
Chu Miao said, "Sister Sa Sa and Sister Huizhi also look good."
As soon as a woman talks about looks, jewelry, clothes, etc., she can quickly change from a stranger to a close friend, whether it's an 18-year-old girl or an 8-year-old girl.
Seeing that the three of them were talking softly without any strangeness at all, the others could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, and also sat together and chatted in a low voice.
Chu Miao was worried about neglecting the guests, so she couldn't help but look aside.
Leng Sa comforted her, "Don't worry about them, they will take care of themselves."
While chatting with Chu Miao, Leng Sa gradually understood why the Chu family handed over the Divine Blessed Island to Anxia. question.
The Chu family has been passed down for several generations before Chu Miao, but Chu Miao's father and grandfather both died young.
In the past 100 years, both the world and God Blessed Island have undergone drastic changes, and the people on God Blessed Island have gradually increased their minds.
Once the first elder passed away, Chu Miao, who was only eight years old, was not in good health, and the second elder Shen Chong, who had a somewhat upright personality, would not be the opponents of those who harbored dissent.
There are many people on the island who are unwilling to invite Anxia people to come.
But these people have long forgotten one thing, that Shenyou Island is not owned by all of them, and Shenyou Island belongs to the Chu family from beginning to end.
Thousands of people who first landed on Shenyou Island thousands of years ago were the ancestors and subordinates of the Chu family.
Later, it slowly took in many people who had escaped to sea when they encountered shipwrecks or fought in the Central Plains.
In the early years, shipping was not so developed, and most of these people came to Shenyou Island in the past two or three hundred years. Before that, the number of residents of God's Blessed Island had actually been maintained at around 30,000 to 50,000 for more than a thousand years, and it did not exceed 50,000 at its peak.
The population explosion is the last one or two hundred years. The more people there are, the more things will happen.
Chu Miao's father and grandfather understood this very well. The Chu family did not fully control the necessity and significance of God's Blessed Island.
In fact, if it wasn't for Anxia's chaos in the early years, they might have solved these things long ago.
Only until death and never found the right opportunity.
In the end, I can only ask the elder to take care of Chu Miao. If there is a chance, I will bring Shenyou Island back to Anxia. If not, I will give up Shenyou Island and let my cronies leave with Chu Miao directly. We have the wealth accumulated by the Chu family in the past dynasties. It is also enough for Chu Miao to live a lifetime in peace.
Leng Sa looked at the delicate and beautiful girl in front of her. Through her clear and peaceful eyes, she felt that this child actually understood her situation.
A child whose parents died when he was a child would not be happy if he grew up in such an environment, even if he had endless brocade clothes and jade food.
He stretched out his hand and rubbed her little head, and asked in a low voice, "Will Miaomiao come with us to Anxia?"
Chu Miao thought for a while, then nodded and said, "The Great Elder said, you will protect God Blessed Island in the future, and you will also protect me, right?"
Smiles coldly, "That's natural. If Miaomiao feels homesick in the future, she can come back again."
"Can I live with Sister Sa Sa?" Chu Miao asked.
Leng Sa was startled, "Do you want to live with me?"
Chu Miao nodded seriously, "I like Sister Sa Sa."
"Aren't you afraid I'm the bad guy?"
Chu Miao shook her head and said firmly, "Sister Sa Sa is not a bad person."
"How do you know?"
Chu Miao looked at Leng Sa and showed a sly smile, "If I don't tell you, I just know."
Leng Sa couldn't help laughing and shook his head helplessly. The little girl who grew up in such an environment naturally cannot be a simple and well-behaved doll, but now it seems that she has some talent as a little fox.
"Okay, if you like it, come back and live with me." Leng Sa smiled.
Chu Miao stretched out her small hand, "Pull the hook."
"Retractor."
Song Lang, who was not far away, was stunned. How long has it been since his relationship was so good? Looking good is definitely an advantage.
"Brother Song, what are you looking at?" asked Shen Sinian next to him.
Song Lang motioned him to look over there, "I didn't expect Mrs. Fu Shao to be quite liked by children?" He thought that children should be quite afraid of coldness, after all, even for men, this is too much Aggressive. Maybe it's because this little girl is too young to see the essence through phenomena?
Shen Sinian smiled and said, "Which child wouldn't like Mrs. Fu Shao's appearance?" Children naturally like good-looking people and things.
Sun Rui sat aside and snorted softly. Since Xiao Nanjia was detained, Sun Rui has become more and more gloomy.
Other people feel that it is inexplicable, and they have not seen how much Sun Rui loves Xiao Nanjia. As for this appearance? Is it because you are unhappy because you can't be the concubine? Consorts are not worth much these days.
"Brother Sun, what do you think?" Lou Lanzhou smiled lightly.
Sun Rui glanced at the three people sitting on the other side, and said with a slight curl of lips, "Don't you think that if the Fu family robbed the little girl..."
That little girl is small, but the wealth behind her is probably unmatched by any of them present. Sun Rui scolded Fu Fengcheng in his heart for letting his wife fool the little girl first.
Lou Lanzhou shook his head with a smile, "Brother Sun has been worrying too much. How to settle Shenyoudao and Miss Chu is up to you after returning to the capital. What's more...I don't think it is necessary for the Fu family to do this." Save others by yourself, and then you will feel that others are despicable, shameless, and ill-conceived.
Others nodded in agreement. They really didn't think the Fu family would deliberately approach a child for money.
Even if this child does possess an enviable wealth, this method is too low-end and unstructured, and Dujun Fu and Master Fu will not do such a thing for money.
Seeing that his provocation was ineffective, Sun Rui snorted lightly, too lazy to say anything, and only cursed inwardly: A bunch of idiots being played by Fu Fengcheng!
